Strengths
- “Pupils love attending Welford Primary School.”
- “It is a friendly and happy place in which to learn.”
- “Relationships are warm and positive.”
To improve
- “However, the school is very much aware that in a few subjects there is still some work to do.”
- “Currently, in some key stage 1 areas, the curriculum does not clearly define the important content pupils need to learn and when they need to learn it.”
- “This hinders younger pupils from building their knowledge as well in these subjects.”
